At work, I am currently dealing with a table that has no primary key, no foreign key, duplicate (almost) serial numbers, booleans stored as strings, and so on. It's a nightmare of a table.

Entity framework is acting like I'm on meth for using such a table.

How about a date stored as an integer?

Edit: and I'm not taking about a timestamp

No, we have worse. Dates sometimes stored as strings, sometimes as datetimes, and sometimes as integers. There is no consistency, logic, or forethought to the schema.

It's rough.
